Expertise wins the case

We were served with child support modification papers within one month of getting married. My husband has hired attorneys in the past and has never come out on top so to say the least he was ready to just give in. I, however, was not willing to give up so easily as there was a chance that the child... support increase would be almost $700 per month. I inquired around on who would be the best attorney for our current situation. Noelle McLean came highly recommended. She is very professional and based on some past experiences I was not able to join in on their meetings, which I fully understood and was grateful that she was looking out for my husband's best interest. She was very knowledgeable and took her work very seriously. Our case was a very different case and a lot of research was involved to prepare. Noelle was so prepared and had many cases to reference when we went before the judge. Her prices are very fair for the work she does. She always kept us informed and worked not only her normal work week but also after hours during the week but also on the weekends to have our paperwork ready. Noelle is professional, knowledgeable, fair and informative. I would recommend her to anyone seeking an attorney. Thanks to Noelle we actually won our case and were awarded a reduction in our child support obligation. She is fabulous!

Noelle's Review

Noelle was wonderful, she kept me in the "loop", always returned my email immediately, when possible, and was very knowledgeable and tried very hard to educate me regarding my case and Wa State laws. Very informative.

Highly competent and pleasant to work with

Noelle was always professional and set my head straight as to what constituted a fair and equitable financial settlement in my dissolution case. She is extremely competent and pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her services.

Grateful for Noelle

Our case is a very sad and tragic one...our daughter and her boyfriend were killed by a drunk driver on 8/9/08 leaving behind their son who turned 1 yr.old eleven days after they were killed. Our case was for non-parental custody of our grandson. Noelle was the second attorney we contacted for help a...nd our only regret was we didn't seek her counsel first. She is a professional, strong and knowledgeable in word and writing, She is also very human, compassionate and kind with an endearing sense of humor. She is understanding, patient, and hears what you say. She provides a comfortable setting to deal with matters of the heart and also provides prompt informative legal advice. A difficult balance but one she does with integrity. Noelle also has a staff who are kind, friendly, and professional from the initial contact through the entire process.We are truly grateful for her representation and would absolutely seek her help for any future matters...she is the best!

She's the best!!!!

Noelle McLean was the incredible savvy lawyer and woman who supported me and navigated me with tremendous wisdom and knowledge, through a very long, very contentious and complicated divorce process. I got to know her as an attorney/woman of strength, but always felt comfortable and at ease working ...with her even on the most difficult issues. She showed her ability and keen sense of determining what is a "fair and equitable settlement:" as when we finally went to trial, the judge's final decision ended up being exactly what our most recent offer was! I will forever be thankful to her and her staff for their incredible support in helping me survive this long ordeal and ending up with what I needed to be able to start over and move on with my life. I recommend her wholeheartedly!
